Here's the weird thing.

Those other countries up there? They aren't living on the US teat : they pay for their own healthcare. Getting this revolving handout from America isn't the real distinguisher here, even if it makes great headline copy.

Countries as poor as Cuba and as rich as Israel can get proper healthcare, or some freemium bullshit downward spiral in-between, all self-funded.

Yeah this is a tiring shitpost. That's not a correlation. We fund a Middle East nuclear bomb outpost for the West's new cold war AND we have oligarch driven shitty healthcare.

People need to get offline and read actual history, polisci and sociology books before drawing conclusions or bullhorning them.
